   What would be the best setup you could get only going upto 247? I have 13" alloys and have about a mm clearance between the caliper and alloy so cant go any bigger than i have atm.
   
   Money no object setup and a a £200-250ish setup please?

   thats a shame as a 266mm setup is amazing imo for the money.
   
   Id be looking at some Mintex 1144's or some Carbon Lorranie (sp) replacements, then some Tarox Grooved or Brembo Max discs.
   
   Ech person will have their own opinion on what is best though.
   I'd 100% stay away from Green/Red Stuff pads.

   for that money you could get a 266mm setup and some 14" 106 raptors or vtr alloys

   There is a smaller hispec set up. but i beleive it was designed for 266mm discs
   
   4pots arent really worth it unless its going on track...
   
   just get good discs and pads. with your car as low as it is it's not like its going to be driven hard enough to warrent anything special
